Chapter 255: Hold Your Breath
Not long after Luo Zhen left the Hou Mansion, Jinxiu also took Hong Caiyi, Jiang Yan and others out of the door, she expected that the Jin family would come today, considering Luo Zhen's feelings, the woman's secret is now almost understood, there is no need to go with her frequently, and there is just something to deal with, so she simply avoids her, and she has to run a few times to say, and when this matter is over, it is better to follow Luo Zhen's wishes.
Luo Zhen has always hated and hated this woman, originally he would not even let the door of the Hou Mansion let the Jin mother and daughter step into, and the guests of the banquet were tolerant of them on the day of the banquet, one was to obey the will of Cheng Guogong, and the other was that he did not want to affect the atmosphere and mood in his good life, and these two reasons were all because he had a wife in a family, if he did not get married, how could he be afraid of anything?
Accompanied by Ye Da's shopkeeper, Jinxiu first went to look at the four shops on the two nearby streets, the mother-in-law Jia's dowry originally had six shops, all of which were the best and most valuable on the street, and the family of the old shopkeeper was in charge of the cooking, Luo Zhen rarely asked, the old shopkeeper Ye had two sons to help him operate with heart, and the six shops were developed into twelve, and the death of the old shopkeeper Ye two years ago, and the eldest son Ye Dazhong took over as the shopkeeper.
Ye Dazhong inherited his father's mind, born with a talent for business, and eight shops became more and more prosperous in his hands, from rouge gouache to grain, oil and sauce shops, silk shops, inns, hotels, tea houses, scholars, four treasures, gold and stone antiques, jewelry pavilions, ...... The business scope is wide and complex, and it can be managed properly and make steady profits, and it is not enough to have talent and no means.
Jinxiu has seen the account books of the shop that Ye Dazhong sent into the Hou Mansion, and listened to the origin of the Ye family, knowing that they are loyal and reliable, so it is not too much trouble, just understand it, today I only picked up a few by the way to take a look, and did not plan to intervene in changing the business model of Ye Dazhong's shopkeeper, what should happen to this industry in the capital, and he will take care of it himself.
After visiting a few shops, I bought a few items that girls liked, and then chose a set of more expensive four treasures of the study, and when I arrived at Dejia Mansion, there were many guests on the day of the banquet and I had to accompany the two princesses, but I failed to entertain and take care of Aunt Ruan and my cousin, but Jia Hui was somewhat angry with Luo Yan, and I had to come to visit. And cheer up Cousin Jia Yu, who is about to end, and wish him high school.
I saw my second uncle in the front yard of Jia's mansion, gave the gift to Jia Yu, did not delay him in reading, went to the backyard after a few words, sat and ate with Ruan and Jia Hui and talked about things with refreshments, stayed for about two hours, and simply finished lunch with my aunt and cousin, and then said goodbye and went back.
In the afternoon, she had to go to visit the Duchess of Ning Guo, and she needed to change her clothes, otherwise she would stay in Jiafu directly until before dinner, so that the Jin family would be in a hurry.
Who told her to think that she was extremely smart, and she wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but she wanted to use tricks to lure the three princes into the palace, but she used Luo Zhen's territory, in the Baoding Hou Mansion, Luo Zhen's study compartment rest room, or the technique used by Jin Qiaoyue in Chizhou, Luo Shu personally went to send "tea" to the slightly drunk three princes, but as soon as he entered the outer room, he was caught, and it was naturally not the people of the three princes, it was Luo Zhen who sent the secret guard of the Hou Mansion to protect the three princes, and the secret guard was also a prank, but poured "tea" into Luo Shu's mouth, Then he quietly sent her out.
Luo Shu was dizzy by the dark guards, only knowing that her trip had failed, but she couldn't figure out what was going on, until she was let go at a corner, she was one foot deep and one foot shallow, crying and running to find her own people, her tears were blurred and she couldn't see clearly, and directly knocked over the copper kettle full of boiling water placed on the long desk under the corridor, and the freshly boiled boiling water poured out of the spout and poured half of her body!
The mother-in-law and the maids in charge of the tea room saw it, and hurriedly helped her to a safe place, while looking for the steward, but the steward's lady did not recognize the young lady over there in the Guogong Mansion, and thought it was a guest, so she was frightened, and hurriedly went to find the chief steward, but the chief steward recognized this Miss Luo Er, and hurriedly let her carry it into an idle room, and then asked to invite the backyard chief steward Lin Shuiqing's house, Lin Shuiqing's family could only come to find people one by one, at that time, Jinxiu was with the princesses, and naturally could not report the matter to her. I had to inform the Zheng family and the Kim family......
In the end, in order to prevent her from scratching herself more, she could only tie her limbs to the bedpost with a strip of cloth, as if this was the case, and the unbearable sound she made still embarrassed the servants and maids, and no one refused to come close, so she had to be watched by the mother-in-law and apply some ointment to the burn.
Because it was a girl's family, and she didn't ask any of the hostesses to agree, and she didn't dare to ask the doctor to come to inspect it, Lin Shuiqing's family thought that this was the Miss of the Guogong Mansion after all, and she couldn't delay, so she went to ask the Hou Ye, Luo Zhen asked her to find Jixiang, and Jixiang gave two boxes of scald ointment from the Tai Hospital, saying that it was extremely rare, and the effect was very good, so it should be saved.
In fact, a scalded wound, no matter how good the medicine is, will always leave a scar. And Lin Shuiqing's family would not have imagined that no matter how long they had two more heads, they would not have thought of it: as long as they took those spring water dedicated to making tea and poured it on Luo Shu's wound continuously for half an hour, her wound would not be very painful, and there would be no scars afterwards!
Because these springs are mixed with spiritual springs!
When Jin and Luo Yan arrived, they were directly shocked when they saw Luo Shu's tragic situation, and Jin almost fainted.
The sins of their own making, the Jin family did not dare to speak out, and for the time being, they did not have the mood and energy to take out their anger at the servants of the Hou Mansion, so they only drank and ordered them to close their mouths, the Guogong Mansion and the Baoding Hou Mansion were both prosperous, if they dared to spread the slightest disadvantage to the second lady, they would definitely not be spared!
On the same day, when the guests dispersed, several of Jin's cronies, mothers-in-law and servants, hurriedly carried Luo Shu back to the Gongfu Mansion in a soft sedan chair, only saying that the second girl drank a few more glasses in order to entertain the girls in Beppu, but she couldn't help getting drunk and hurt her spleen and stomach, so she had to take care of herself in the house for some time.
I didn't dare to let Cheng Guogong and Luo Song know about this, and even Luo Fang hid it, because the Jin family needed Ma's help to take care of Luo Shu, Luo Rui knew a rough idea, and he couldn't help but secretly complain about Luo Shu's recklessness.
Jin invited a doctor, only saying that it was a servant girl around him, who relied heavily on the favorite, and was accidentally scalded by boiling water, so the doctor must try his best to heal, it doesn't matter how much gold and silver he spends!
The doctor also tried his best to diagnose and treat, but he said: This kind of large-scale scald, no matter how high the medical skills and how good the medicine is, will leave a scar in the future!
Not to mention suffering, you have to leave an ugly scar on half of your body! After taking the antidote, Luo Shu, who had cleared up her mind, stopped doing it, looking for death and life, and made the chickens and dogs restless!
Jin thought about it while comforting her daughter, and was so anxious that Luo Yan offered her advice, saying that she remembered that last year in Dongshan Village, Chizhou, she had seen Feng Jinxiu and several of her maidservants so idle that they had nothing to do and tinkered with some herbs and roots and bark picked in the mountains, cut those wild things into pieces of pieces, dried them and steamed and boiled them, and then dried and boiled them again, and finally only made three small bottles of ointment, I don't remember what the name of the ointment was, but Feng Jinxiu gave it all to the female guard next to her, and the female guard originally had a raised scar on her face, It's like a whip, but after half a year, the scar on the female guard's face seems to be gone!
It must be the ointment! At that time, Feng Jinxiu said that this ointment has excellent effect, and it is a recipe for Miss Xie's pharmacy, because she has a deep relationship with Miss Xie, and people sued her, so she can make it herself!
The Jin family was not so confused that she completely lost her ability to think, she listened to Luo Yan's words, and immediately thought of autumn pear paste, Feng Jinxiu can make a good thing like autumn pear paste, and naturally she can also make a scald ointment, but that recipe is someone else's town shop, how can she take it out lightly?
The Jin family is still self-aware, pretending to be stupid and pretending to be stupid in front of Luo Zhen all these years, deliberately ignoring the hatred between the two, but relying on the Duke of Chengguo, the old lady and Luo Song, the real interests are at stake, she never thinks that she can suppress Luo Zhen and his wife with the so-called elder status, so she almost immediately estimated the property under her name, and planned to take out one or two things in exchange for Feng Jinxiu, asking for the scald prescription on her hand.
Luo Yan reminded: "Mother, I remember that my grandmother once snatched a bottle of that black ointment from Hong Caiyi's hand, and later gave it to Cousin Yao, so it's better to go to Cousin Yao and use it first." ”
Jin Shi paused for a moment: "Your grandmother, really got a bottle of burn cream?" Actually gave it to Ah Yao? So what are you doing next to you? Why don't you ask your grandmother for it? Your grandmother loves you like that! ”
Luo Yan paused: "Grandmother couldn't see Feng Jinxiu personally giving a servant medicinal ointment, so she ordered Hong Caiyi to hand it over, but Hong Caiyi only handed over one bottle." At that time, I thought that the color of the ointment was extremely ugly, and I wouldn't use it, so I didn't fight, and Ah Yao didn't like it either, but my grandmother forced it on her, so I had to take it! ”
Jin was so angry that he couldn't speak: "As the saying goes, when you are full, you don't know when you are hungry, and you are like this!" How have I taught you since you were a child? Your grandmother is always confused and eccentric, as long as it is good, she blindly hides it, and then gives it all to your aunt, mother and son, how can you not fight? Even if it's a piece of grass, you have to fight! Because it belongs to you, she shouldn't take it Lin Yao! If you had held the ointment in your hand then, wouldn't your sister use it now? How easy and cheap? You kid, have you figured it out? ”
Luo Yan lowered her head, pouted and nodded: "Daughter remembers!" ”
Lin Yao wanted to marry Luo Fang but couldn't, the last time she had a fight in the Guogong Mansion and fell ill when she went back, Mrs. Luo Qiu not only hated Luo Fang, but also turned against the Jin family, who had always had a good relationship, and now Luo Fang's marriage is completely controlled by the Zheng family, and has made up her mind to the Zheng Mansion, it is impossible to regret it, considering this, the Jin family only slightly instigated Luo Yan, and asked her to go to the Lin Mansion to visit Lin Yao as a junior to see if she could coax back the bottle of ointment that can remove scars, and she herself is still very prepared, and went to Baoding Mansion to find Feng Jinxiu for a prescription!
She was sure that she would be able to exchange for the recipe in Feng Jinxiu's hand, and the couple in Chizhou City took 300,000 taels of silver from her without blinking, and also sought to go to the big mountain villa, which shows that these two people love money, as long as they have a hobby, it will be easy to do!
She has a lot of conditions that can be exchanged, and it is worth it to see if it is worth it, usually she will not be so proactive, this time it is related to her daughter's health and future, even if she wants to make a bloody investment, she has to do it!
What's more, in just three or five years, all the industries in the hands of Luo Zhen and Feng Jinxiu have not all been returned to the Chengguo Mansion and into their own hands!
When Kim thinks of these feelings, he can't help but feel happy and happy: I will feed you, let you be greedy, and raise you to be fat for nothing, and then you will know the fate of the fat pig to be slaughtered!
Who knew that when I came to the Baoding Hou Mansion in the morning, I pounced, saying that the husband and wife had gone out, and asked where they went, from the steward to the servant, no one knew!
Jin was annoyed and annoyed, so he could only sit anxiously in the living room of the front yard for a few hours, and he never saw Jinxiu come back, but the Guogong Mansion sent people one after another to urge her to go back, saying that Luo Shu was in pain, crying and looking for death, Jin was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: Luo Shu hid in the room like this and didn't see anyone, he would definitely not be able to hide Luo Song and Mrs. Luo, if they also knew that Luo Shu was burned and traced the reason, she was no matter how good she was, she was afraid that she couldn't fix Luo Song, and she couldn't resist the punishment of Cheng Guogong!
Although Luo Song was shaken after listening to her words, and agreed to gradually approach the three princes, Chengguo Gong was an old stubborn, saying that the Luo family has been loyal and patriotic for generations, and has no disagreement with the emperor. Last time, I even scolded Luo Song and Luo Duan for no reason, and asked Mrs. Luo to beat the Jin family too!
Jin is very depressed, but helpless, things have not yet become clear, the world is mostly blinded, and she has no choice, she can't jump out and say that she is realive, she has experienced the previous life, and knows the final ending!
Seeing that it was going to be noon, the Jin family had to go back to the Guogong Mansion, and before leaving, he asked the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion to tell the young lady: Mrs. Shizi waited for her in the morning, and there was an urgent matter to discuss! I will come back in the afternoon, please wait in the house!
As soon as the Jin family left on the front foot, the back foot of the splendid back foot returned to the Hou Mansion, and after listening to the housekeeper's report, he just nodded to indicate that he understood.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the things that have been arranged in the morning, and the post has been handed to the Ningguo Mansion, how can it be said that it will be changed? Take a nap first, and then go what you should do in the afternoon!
In the afternoon, the Jin family left aside the affairs of the government and Luo Shu, who was crying endlessly, and ran to the front hall of the Hou Mansion to wait for a long time without seeing anyone.
However, Luo Zhen came back earlier than Jinxiu, as soon as the two of them looked at each other, Jin couldn't help but have weak legs, after all, this is the Baoding Marquis Mansion and not the Guogong Mansion, she has no confidence, she doesn't dare to pose as an elder, and no matter how calm she is, she can't resist Luo Zhen's evil spirit, Luo Zhen sat on the seat like an iceberg and drank tea, and didn't ask questions at all, Jin himself couldn't help but say all the things he wanted to exchange with Jinxiu, Luo Zhen didn't answer, this matter was said to be handled by Jinxiu, and he wouldn't say anything. After drinking the tea, he waited a little longer, but Jinxiu didn't come back, so he told Chen Liang to go out and have a look, and he walked towards the study, leaving the Jin family alone in the hall, angry and hateful, and numb.
